The wind whistled across the fields, but nothing moved between the world.

Only the withered and yellow weeds that were tenaciously rooted in the blue bricks of the city wall swayed slightly.

There is still thick ice on the wide moat under the city wall. Whenever a carriage and horses walk by, the ruts press on the ice surface, making a creaking and rubbing sound.

A few children in the distance, regardless of the wind like scissors, smashed a small hole in the moat with ice horns and carefully put down the fish lou.

This is the northern city of the Ming Dynasty and Beiping.

Looking down from the sky, the winding city walls and the broken ancient Great Wall on the distant mountains reflect each other. They are like two hideous giant dragons, staring back to back with huge eyes, and looking at the world.

Although it is not as rich as the famous cities in the south, the cities in the north are even more powerful and desolate. For thousands of years, this military-class land has been continuously built and reinforced again and again.

Until the previous dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty reached its peak and became the center of the entire world, and the capital.

Here, it is no longer clear about Yan, Tang, Liao and Jin, and all the historical memories are integrated into the tightly ripped city wall.

"In the past, the attack on Dadu started with this city wall!"

The figures on the city wall were deserted. Zhu Di wore a cloak in mink and did not wear a hat. He let the wind blew his hair and beards and walked slowly forward a little lonely.

Squat on a city wall, grabbed the ice and snow on it, rubbed it in the big hand. Then he opened his hand and let the wind blow away again.

Behind him, Princess Yan, Xu, was also wearing a martened cloak, and looked at her husband squatting on the ground and remained silent.

It was a bit cold, and Xu's face turned red. She was already the mother of several children. Logically speaking, she was a grandmother, but at first glance, she still looked particularly young.

"I was seven years old that year!" Zhu Di stood up, continued to move forward, and shouted, "I was studying with my elder brother and others in the main hall, and suddenly I heard a large piece of firecrackers outside!"

"The guards in the palace are shouting, most of them are broken, the Tartars have returned to their hometown!"

"Ha ha!"

Zhu Di spoke while walking, laughing while walking.

"The northern expedition, from south to north, looked down on all directions, and was invincible in every battle. The thousand-year-old majestic city was defeated by the Ming Dynasty men!"

Zhu Di's voice became louder, "At that time, everyone in the palace was so happy that they were crazy. My father cried and shouted. From then on, there was no capital of the Yuan Dynasty, only the Ming Dynasty, Beiping, Beiping, north, pacified, and safe!"

As he said that, his steps suddenly stopped, he looked back at his first wife, and continued to shout, "At that time, I asked my father if we had captured the capital, we would move the capital here."

"The father said no, Peking is too close to the Hu people, it's too dangerous!"

"I was seven years old at that time, and I was in the hall!" Zhu Di's tone suddenly became excited, "Say to the ministers, Father, I will grow up in the future and entrust me to Peking." As he said that, he stood on the city wall and looked into the distance, "I want the Hu people, and a horse dare not look at the Central Plains. I want to enjoy peace forever."

Xu took a few steps forward and spoke slowly, "The prince has done it over the years!"

"No, I didn't do it!" Zhu Di's voice immediately became a little lonely, "I didn't do it!" As he said, he sighed, "The grand plan in my heart is far from reaching! Look at the other side of the Great Wall, there are still Tartars coming every year!"

"What I want is inside and outside the Great Wall, the Ming Dynasty is the only one!"

"Have the Great Wall built in all dynasties blocked the Tartars? No, I, Zhu Di, can I block it even if I don't build the Great Wall! I have never built an inch of the Great Wall in recent years. I will let the Great Wall stand here, let the Great Wall see how Zhu Di is capable, and I will use my military achievements to shame the Great Wall."

"There is no unbreakable city in the world. How powerful is this Beiping that year? It's still broken!"

"The Great Wall is so magnificent that he blocked a bird!"

As he said that, Zhu Di's voice paused, "I was in the vassal year back then. I once asked a person why the city in the world could not be defended at all, but he still had to build it desperately!"

"He told me that it was because those emperors were timid! They didn't have the courage to play out, they just wanted to rely on the city to stick to it."

"He also told me that the country was built, not defended!"

"At that time, I decided to build a country in Peiping!"

His voice came from afar with the wind.

Xu slowly stepped forward, took his hand, and said softly, "The prince is confused and he is talking nonsense!"

"You know I'm not talking nonsense!" Zhu Di held his wife's hand with both hands, his eyes a little red, "You know me over the years!"

Xu didn't say anything, but leaned gently in her husband's arms.

The couple snuggled up to each other on the ancient city wall in the cold wind.

"None of them can do it!" Zhu Di suddenly said, "None of them can do it, they are short-sighted! Build the capital Yingtian Mansion? What's the use!"

"Beiping faces the Three Norths directly, and it is the place where the emperor guards the national gates. He gathers heavy troops here. Advance can lead to the north of the desert, and retreat can ensure peace in the north."

"If there is any loss here, half of the country will be gone."

"Although Jiangnan is good, it can only be safe!"

Xu raised his head and smiled slightly, "Stop talking, go back!" As he said, he paused, "You don't count if you say these things!"

"Yes, what I say doesn't matter!" Zhu Di suddenly became disappointed and smiled bitterly, "What I say doesn't matter!" Then, he let go of his wife, stopped in place, and said with his back, "I think so much, I have the final say!"

"It's all fate!" Xu whispered.

As Zhu Di’s wife, how can she not know what her husband has been thinking about day and night over the years?

She knew her husband's ambitions and her great ambitions, but her husband was not from that position, and many things could only bother her.

Seeing her husband like this at this moment, her heart was even more heartbroken.

"Fate?" Zhu Di thought about it and sneered, suddenly lowered his head and stomped the blue brick under his feet hard, "The old man is partial!"

"He only has the eldest brother, only his son."

"I have done so much over the years, but he has never seen it right away!"

"I tried my best to be his best son, but in his heart, the best person has never been!"

As he said that, Zhu Di squatted down again and grabbed his hair with both hands.

The edict for the new king to ascend the throne had long been passed to Peiping. On the day when he received the imperial edict, King Yan Zhu Di worked alone in the study for a day and a night without saying a word.

"Whatever he and I want is a gift!"

"His grandson doesn't need anything, but he has everything!"

"If the great master says Zen, he will be meditated, and if the world says it, he will be meditated."

Xu stepped forward again, next to Zhu Di, "Prince, don't think about it, you're just worried!"

"Haha!" Zhu Di laughed out loud, "Yes, it's so bad!"

The reason why he was so emotional was that he was suppressed in his heart for a long time and was less sure of the future. The old man's sudden abdication made him unable to accept it emotionally.

He never gave up in his life, and letting his three sons enter Beijing has already shown an attitude that he is about to bow his head.

But the other party didn't care about his attitude at all.

Because he is already the emperor who dominates the world.
